NRC Regulatory Issue Summary 2002-15, NRC Approval of Commercial Data Encryption Systems for the Electronic Transmission of Safeguards Information Letter from Bhalchandra K. Vaidya (NRC) to John B.

SUBJECT:
Use of Encryption Software for Electronic Transmission of Safeguards Information On July 6,2004, by Reference 4, the NRC authorized the Omaha Public Power District (OPPD) to use PGP software Corporate Software Desktop version 8.0 for encryption and electronic transmission of Safeguards Information (SGI).
This letter provides notification that OPPD will begin using PGP Software Corporate Desktop Version 8.0.3 which was developed with PGP Software Development Kit (SDK) 3.0.3. NIST Certificate Number 394 validates compliance of this software development tool with the FIPS 140-2 requirements.
In an October 4,2004 letter, NEI provided notification of the industrys intent to use PGP version 8.0.3. In a November 19,2004 response to NEI, the NRC authorized the use of PGP version 8.0.3 for processing SGI electronically. This meets the requirement that the NRC be notified 30 days before first use of new software.
